Lead Software Engineer Interview Experience - Zürich, Switzerland
Process
This is my ever first "interview" on this side of the pond (EU) that required an online HackerRank test as the first step, without ever talking to a human.
If you are the type that enjoys this kind of challenge (maybe fresh out of uni), then this is your chance! For all the other professionals, this is sad news.
I will straight out refuse to do these kind of "challenges" in the future - it requires basically no investment from the hiring company, and humiliates the majority of candidates.
It also has very little correlation to the skills required for these jobs. I thought investment banks were smarter than this...
Questions
The process included online LeetCode exercises on HackerRank.
One of the questions was to write an SQL query which included a column containing concatenated rows using GROUP_CONCAT, which is a serious SQL anti-pattern.
